On the Move
Simple piece for solo piano
ISMN: 979-0-720090-59-7
Originally a simple piece written for a student in the dim mists of my own past, I have developed Getting There into its now rather more complex form. (There is nothing like a motoric Alberti bass driving away against subtle dance-like syncopations) With the addition of the slow movement, it now has somewhere to go; and having arrived, it is There.
